This position offers a great opportunity to work at the intersection of advanced technology and traditional industry, making a tangible impact on our business processes.

Design, implement, and optimize AI Agents using LLMs, reinforcement learning, planning algorithms, and decision‑making frameworks. Develop scalable multi AI Agent architectures supporting long horizon reasoning, autonomy, planning, interaction, and complex task completion. Integrate AI Agents with APIs, backend services, databases, and enterprise applications. Prototype, deploy, and maintain AI‑driven systems ensuring reliability and performance in production environments. Optimize agent behavior through continuous feedback, reinforcement learning, and user interaction.

Collaborate closely with research, engineering, product, and deployment teams to iterate on agent capabilities and innovate continuously. Monitor AI Agent performance, conduct rigorous evaluations, implement safety guardrails, and ensure ethical AI practices. Document AI Agent architectures, design decisions, workflows, and maintain comprehensive technical documentation. Stay current with emerging AI technologies, contribute to platform and tooling improvements, and share knowledge within the team.

Your mission is to push the boundaries of planning, reasoning, and agentic intelligence. You will design and implement large‑scale AI/ML solutions integrating the latest state‑of‑the‑art research in our global products.

• Proficiency in Python and/or languages like JavaScript, Type Script, Node.js, or Java, Go, with strong coding and software engineering practices.
• Expertise with AI/ML libraries and frameworks such as Lang Chain, OpenAI APIs, PyTorch, Tensor Flow, commercial or open source LLMs.
• Hands‑on experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, and natural language processing (NLP).
• Knowledge of agent orchestration platforms and multi‑agent systems (e.g., Autogen
  
  AI, Lang Graph, MCP protocol).
• Familiarity with data management, vector databases, semantic retrieval, and real‑time data pipelines.
• Experience deploying AI systems on cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud) with container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Strong understanding of machine learning model training, fine‑tuning, and evaluation techniques.
• Awareness of AI ethics, data privacy, and secure handling of sensitive information.

• 5+ years of relevant experience and a Master’s or PhD degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, AI Engineering, or related fields.
• 3+ years of experience in AI, GenAI application development & deployment particularly with autonomous agent systems or related AI software engineering roles.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently in fast‑paced, experimental environments.
• 3+ years of experience designing and building GenAI apps that allow users to experience AI use cases supporting features like agent orchestration, multi‑step reasoning, prompt engineering, RAG integration, and model selection.
• 3+ years of experience with LLMs and deep learning models, machine learning lifecycle management, data generation methods, model training & validation coupled with strong fundamentals and passion in software engineering and system architecture.
